I have been using and enjoying very much WINuae on my PC for the last month or so. My Dad has seen me playing Pinball Fanatsies and he now wants a peice of the action. So I've put winuae on his old PC. Everything works has it does on mine but everthing seems to runs slow and the music goes funny, it sort of jumps.

My dad has got a WIN 95 PC his processor is a P200 with 64mb ram. He has a 8mb graphics card. I am trying in particular to get pinball fantasies working, is there anything I can try to sort this out. I'm suprised because surely even an old PC is more capable than an Amiga??

Yup, the raw speed of old PCs are usually greater than Amigas, but remember that the PC is emulating an Amiga - that means that it's reading each instruction of the game, translating it to a PC runable format and generally emulating a lot of Amiga stuff. As the Amiga has lots of chips and components working simultaneously, this is even more complicated than with simpler machines, such as a Spectrum or Megadrive.

Well maybe it'd be more capable than it currently is if you ran a proper OS. Windows is slowness incorporated. And Linux, if you want a gui, seems to take almost more resources, but will at least offer up stability for that.
